A Penitentiary Newspaper.
(Chicago Daily News.l

The Prison Mirror is the title of a
paper edited, printed, published and
sold by the convicts in the Saltwater,
Mimi, Penitentiary. 1t curiously bears
the motto, "God Helps Those Who
Help Themselves" and among the list
of stockholders we find the names of
Robert, James and Coleman Younger,
the celebrated Younger brothers, who
owe their presence in the institution
to habit OF "helping themselves" /"
which was not sanctioned by Divine
aid. "Cole" Younger also appears to
be the librarian of the prison and the
printers devil Of the Mirror office. The
salutatory announces that the papers
mission is "to encourage prison literary
talent and to instruct, assist, encourage
and entertain all those in our midst,
and to scatter words of warning upon
the unwary pathway of those in the
outside world whose reckless footsteps
may be leading them hitherward."
We are not so sure about encouraging
"prison talent" but the rest of the ed
itors' intentions are praiseworthy, as
is also their endeavor "to bury melan-
choly, arrangement and enmity in
the vast region OF the past, and to sow
in the hearts of our readers the golden
seed of charity, hope and love" Their
effort has met with flattering success,
and the Mirror starts in under the
most favorable auspices. There is a
hint OF humor in the invitation extend
ed to President Cleveland to visit its
retired community" and the regret
that the invitation could not be con-
veyed by a committee.

SUMNER NOON.

The cir is full of soothing sounds. The bee,
Within the waxen lily honeyed cells,
In monotone of mellow measure tells
his yet unsated joyance: drowsily
The swallows spill their liquid melody
AS down the sky they drop, and family swells
The tremuous twinkle of the far sheep bells,
While wind harps sigh in every crowned tree
Beneath the beachen shade the reapers lie,
Upon their lips a merry harvest tune;
Knee deep within q neighboring stream the
kline
Stand blinking idly in the clear sunshine:
And like dream of olden Already
Seems the sweet languor of the summer noon,
Clinton Scollard in Times Democrat.

VICTIMS OF THE BILLIARDS.

a q Many People Frozen to Death in Dakota
as were Killed In the Vermont A ccident.
DEVILS LAKE, D. T., Feb. 1.-The
body of Mrs. Edward Walters, who dis
appeared few days since, has been found
near DEVILS Lake. Mr.. Walters came
to DEVILS Lake from his farm Friday, and
the storm became so severe that he could
not return. His wife is thought to have
become alarmed at mis- prolonged absence
and started to go to the nearest neigh
boris. Her body was discovered short
distance from the road on the open prai-
RE, partly covered by snow, and only
about quarter of a mile from her own
home. The snow about the spot where
she lay indicated that she had walked
about IN q small circle for long time.
The blizzard last week was the severest
known for many years. Reports are com
ing in every day of lives lost by parties
caught out upon the prairie in the storm.
The total of these in Dakota this winter
can hardly he below the death figures Of
the Vermont railroad accident, while
large number will suffer permanently
from the freezing of different parts Of the
BODY.
